“My Freshman Year” by Rebekah Nathan was obviously about someone's freshman year in college. Although in this particular story it wasn't about an average age student fresh from high school. Instead it was a professor. Rebekah Nathan was a cultural anthropologist who wanted to make a study of the everyday life of a college student. This included their social and academic life. So the best way to complete the study was to live on campus and experience for herself. So that is what she chose to do.
To me I thought this passage was kind of funny. When I began reading so many thoughts came to my mind. Like “Will the professor actually fit in?”, “Will she find the information she needs?”. Then as I continued to read it wasn't that bad for her. People included her in things they did and she actually got what she went there for. Even when she spoke about living in the dorms in her second chapter, everything she said I could relate to. She described things so accurately! I could actually picture some of the things she wrote about. She spoke on pretty much everything about living on campus. Even certain activities that went on. Only difference really was her age.
